Airfix has been producing scale plastic model kits for a mass market since 1952. It all began with a promotional model made for Ferguson tractors which proved to be so popular that it was subsequently sold as a toy. To make the toy cheaper & increase sales it began to be sold as a kit to build at home with detailed instructions, & thus the enormously popular & successful Airfix kits arrived on the market. Fathers & grandfathers will have fond memories of building Airfix with their children in many enthralling designs. These classic kits come with acrylic paints, good quality brushes, poly cement (glue) & very detailed instructions for construction. A splendid opportunity for a new generation to engage with the joy of Airfix modelling & for those who made them as a youngster, a chance to revisit the hobby & perhaps bring greater skills to the task!
